It’s time to trade those dancing shoes for running shoes!!! I had so much fun at our Flash Mob Dance in Santa Monica. I was so excited to see so many friends showing off their dance moves and showing their support for Claire’s Place Foundation. It was an amazing event and a great start to the summer. Thanks again to everyone involved. Now that we accomplished our first successful Flashmob, it’s time for our next event!

Now it’s time for Claire’s Place Foundation’s second fundraising event! What better way to have fun and show our support than getting together for fun, sun, Fourth of July, and running? That’s right we are inviting everyone to join “Team Claire” and run at the 5k/10k Will Rogers Pacific Palisades run on 4th of July! And this year there will be a FREE Yoga/Run clinic offered to ANYONE participating in the annual 5k/10k run. Yay!!! I’m totally looking forward to that.

This event will be a blast! I am so hyped for this run and hope you can join our group of runners for “Team Claire ~ Supporting Families Living with Cystic Fibrosis.” This year, the Will Rogers 10k will honor the Men and Women of the Parks and Recreation Department. You can help support both great causes and join our team by either running with our team or making a donation to sponsor our team. You know that every bit of support counts.  This event is for the whole family, kids and adults can run and show their support by wearing our Team Claire matching shirts.
